I figured that it would probably be more likely in Europe that people would be comfortable with idea of public nudity, though now I know that if I ever wanted to go somewhere where it was likely, I could go to Germany.

There ya go, they say Brazil is a Nudist Haven too, but they also say it is really hard to find them in Brazil...

[Petrucio1983]

I would prefer to go to Europe. There's a better chance I would find people who speak the same language as I do. 

[Waytwofast]

But that is what Google Translate is for, and they say the best way to learn a new language is to immerse yourself in a foreign country :)

[Petrucio1983]

Yeah, but I can't carry Google Translate with me, and I've noticed that it has a bad time with some languages. Slovenian for one. 
Though if I was to learn a foreign language, I would learn German, Greek or Russian.

Its an app for your phone now, so now you can take it with you always :) it has a feature where you can have it hear their voice and when they're done, press a button it plays it to you, and then you push a button speak and it translate it into their language, and they press the button and hear what you were saying :) Its like having a translator everywhere you go :)

[Petrucio1983]

Only if you have that phone, which I'm sure that my provider doesn't. Even if they did, you're right in that it's better to learn the language myself. Then I don't have to figure out how to carry my phone when I'm nude.

Most smartphones in the world right now have lots of Google inside them due to the Android platform being the most widespread mobile OS. And Google also offers stuff for other platforms. And here in Europe, buying your own phone is actually a viable alternative.

As for Germany, it is pretty much a mixed bag. I have heard foreigners being amazed at how well English is spoken and understood here, while from my experience, there are still many who have trouble with what is essentially the international standard. It is just that other countries in Europe can be worse in that regard I guess.

And despite Germany being home and haven of nude recreation, we are not some nudist utopia. Getting naked in public in areas that are not established naturist spots or fairly secluded can still get you into trouble.

Yea, but you can drive as fast as you want on the Autobahn :P

[Delta]

Generally, yes. Usually, there are local speed limits however, so this largely applies to some rural regions.

[Waytwofast]

Still faster than 70mph which is more or less the highest speed around here :P

[sevves]

roads are 100kmh and there is plenty of autobahn with a speed between 0 and 100kmh.... 

[Waytwofast]

I've always wanted to drive on it, but not with my pickup truck too slow for such an awesome road :)

Rent a Porsche then shield your eyes ;)
